LT Foreign Car Service German & Japanese Auto Repair - St. Petersburg (FL)

5 /5 zenny: Great and very knowledgeable mechanic for German cars. extremely honest and is not trying to sell you more than you need. Extremely fair pricing and gets the work done in a timely manner. I’ve had nothing but a good experience taking my bmw here and recommend him to anyone that’s looking for a place to service their foreign car.

5 /5 Todd Murphy: LT has worked with me on my aging BMW for the last 6 months. He is prompt to the garage in the morning and knowledgeable about my car. He greets people who arrive the shop, many seem to be loyal customers. He is very careful to make sure we are dealing with a specific issue and not just throwing parts at it. He knows how to use his BMW diagnostics tools, performed old school pressure and dye tests and in end got me out the door with my car’s systems performing the way they should. Furthermore, when replacement parts don’t live up to their quality, LT stuck with me to resolve the issue for the long run. I feel confident leaving his shop with a reliable repair or a plan to get it right, all at a fair price. Thanks LT,

5 /5 David Carnes: Im new to the area and visited several mechanics before deciding to get my Nissan front end suspension repairs done by LT. Hes very knowledgeable and honest. Two other local mechanics were quoting me for repairs I didnt need. LT does quality work at a fair price in a timely manner. Highly recommend.

5 /5 David Kuoch: Shout out if you need an honest knowledgeable and affordable mechanic, particularly if you own an Audi or Land Rover. (More knowledgeable than Audi/and possibly LR dealership in my opinion) and does NOT try to up-sell you on unnecessary repairs. There is a difference between mechanics and master mechanics, I believe LT foreign falls into that “Master” category and given the due diligence on calling around shops. Some shops either too busy, don’t work on them, and conversation on phone call that you don’t get a sense that they know how to resolve issue other than saying your turbo booster needs replaced. I have a late model Audi Q5, warranty just lapse. Long story short, dealership estimate to diagnosis excess potential transmission, oil burning and booster sluggishness could run between $1200-1500 with codes that was provided when I got it read by one of those scanners. Based on what dealership wanted… (Just diagnostic WITHOUT repair). Sticker shock!!! I called around and found this independent shop that specializes in European car. After talking to a bunch of other shops. I trusted my instincts to take it to LT, based on his stellar Google reviews and our conversation on error codes and having educated hypothesis on what’s wrong. I described the issue and he said I think I know what it is. It’s not your transmission, but bring it in let me run it through the computer at no charge to validate his hypothesis and said you have 2 issues that would cost me fraction of the cost of the dealership. One was the Approved the repair and got the car back 24 hours later. What I appreciated the most is that we discovered another issue unrelated to that and rather than trying to upsell me for additional repairs he told me to wait till it breaks or to come back in a few weeks to recheck for free. What car repair place says that? (Refreshing to hear) So in two weeks I will be sending my Land Rover there as well. If they can do the same magic with my Audi. Expecting the same results.

5 /5 Peter Dehkes: I’ve brought my 2008 Infiniti, which has over 350k miles, to LT’s three times now, and each experience has been excellent. The first visit was to replace the ignition coils and spark plugs. Later, he identified and fixed the root cause—a leaking oil gasket that had led to the ignition issues in the first place. Most recently, he repaired a faulty fuel pressure regulator. What stands out most is his responsiveness and trustworthiness. He communicates clearly by text, explains what needs to be done, and is transparent with pricing. The quotes he gives upfront are accurate—no surprises on the final receipt, and his labor costs are fair and consistent. It’s hard to find a mechanic you feel you can trust, but I definitely trust him with my car, which I am very attached to, and will keep going back to give it the care I feel it needs.
